Neo-Nazis seldom refer to Jews as such in their propa- ganda, using instead such phrases as "emigrants," "finan- ciers," "materialists" and "world conspirators." They rely on the heavy heritage of Nazi propa- ganda in the German mind to make the association between these names and Jews. In addi- tion, neo-Nazis deny that the Nazis murdered Jews, or refer to them as "hardships" necessi- tated by the war or criminal acts which had no relationship i with Nazism. Joseph M. Welt, one of De- troit's most prominent citizens, a former president of Temple Beth El, died Tuesday.
